Euan Spark (shown 2nd yellow).

Will presumably miss next game.

Shown 2nd yellow for winning the ball, never even knew that was an offence now.

What was Butcher like ?

Looking at the line-up,half the players or more had 1st team experience.

Dissapointing result.

We'll get the low down fae Bugsy later i'm sure.

Basically, we had the skill and they had the dig and energy. Sending off made the difference as Spittal went to RB and he was one of our most creative players, along with son of Paddy, until then. Pretty even until sending off then they had the better chances and McCallum was excellent (maybe explains absence of pole II?).

TBH I didn't recognise him at first, looks like he's lost a couple of stone. Played very well, but his body language (here we go wi' psychobabble again ) was alarming as his head was down whenever the ball wasn't in play.

Reckon he may suffer from Morrisitis like BG suffered from Bilate syndrome.

Tomorrow's match (Tuesday 9th Sep) v Ross County has been postponed.

Partick Thistle v DUFC - Firhill 6pm k.o.

Szromnik, Spittal, Wilson, Telfer, Harwood, Ballantine, Connolly, Smith, Moore, Fraser, Coote

Subs - Zwick, Souttar, Smith, Montgomery, Malaga, Adeyemo, Tumilty

Full Time - Partick Thistle 3 DUFC 3 (Harwood,Coote,Connolly)

Still no win for the young Terrors but they came back fae 2-0 and 3-1 down,so showing some good fight.

Good interview on ZONE with SC from this morning.

Hopefully highlights to come.

Not the greatest 1st game for Szromnik or our 2nd string defence by the sound of that scoreline, do you know what Souttar was on the bench Tek or anyone else?

St Obswell · 17/9/2014 8:36 am

Just read on the official it was John Souttar's big wee bro Harry that was on the bench last night for the U20's. Any word on John's progress towards fitness anyone?

It all seems to have went very quiet regards Soapy eh ?

I had hoped we would have seen him back in action by now.

arabugsy · 17/9/2014 8:27 pm

Saw him training at St Andrews on ZONE footage recently. The last time I saw him there he was on crutches, so progress is being made.

RogerTheAlien · 17/9/2014 10:17 pm

With only Bilate, maybe Moore would've seen a spot on the bench.

arabugsy · 18/9/2014 8:57 pm

Moore's still not 100% fit.

Tek · 30/9/2014 9:24 am

After what seems an enternity the Young Terrors are back in league action today,away to Falkirk at 2pm.

With so few options upfront it would be splendid if we could see someone start banging in the goals at this level and make a push for first team action.

RogerTheAlien · 30/9/2014 11:23 am

Will Moore ever make the step up?

Tek · 30/9/2014 3:49 pm

SXI:-Szromnik, Wilson, Ballantyne, Harwood, Spark, Butcher, S.Smith, Fraser, Telfer, Connolly, Adeyemo

Subs:- Zwick, Montgomery, Moore, Malaga, Lochead

Full Time - Falkirk 0 Dundee United 1 (Connolly)

First win of the season and a clean sheet to boot.Decent result away fae hame.

arabugsy · 30/9/2014 7:24 pm

Anyone know how they set up, because Ballantyne, Harwood and Butcher are mainly CBs. Seen Cammy play FB so maybe Wilson was in midfield? Can't imagine Harwood and Butcher being anything other than CB.

arabugsy · 30/9/2014 7:35 pm

Just seen the goal on the ZONE and it's another header fae Son of Paddy! Reckon he's already beating his auld man for headed goals.

lifesanocean · 30/9/2014 8:57 pm

Butcher played pre-season games in midfield last year and Jackie said he liked him in that position. Maybe worth a shot as cover for Paton.

3-5-2 maybe ?

Or as LAO said,Butcher DCM perhaps.

arabugsy · 30/9/2014 10:04 pm

If the team's listed as 4231 then Butcher's certainly in Pate's position, just never seen him play there. No harm if he can.

RogerTheAlien · 01/10/2014 1:17 am

Aidan Connolly Is a wee baller. Want to see him and Charles of Telfer soon.

arabugsy · 02/10/2014 9:28 pm

Great coverage on the ZONE this season after some years of neglect. Saw goals v Jags and Falkirk and felt I'd been at the match after SC's interview (Butcher was new Pates).

Tek · 02/10/2014 9:30 pm

Good finish by Ali Coote v Partick.

Intelligent run into space and tidy finish fae the angle.
